ENG vs AUS Match Preview

The Fifth Test of the Men’s Ashes series, which begins at the Oval on Thursday morning, concludes one of the most closely contested and entertaining series in history. Australia has won the Ashes and leads the series 2-1, but England was far superior in the drawn Fourth Test and won the Third Test. England played well in Manchester last week but did not declare early enough to force a result due to bad weather on the final day. They will believe they are deserving of tying the series with a victory at The Oval. On this trip, Australia has already won the World Test Championship Final and retained the Ashes, and all they need to do now is avoid defeat to win the series. It will, however, be a difficult task against this England team.

Topmost Picks for ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – England

• Joe Root – The 32 year old made his second score of 80+ in the series at Old Trafford last week. He could only be dismissed by a ball which shot along the ground.
• Mark Wood – The quick bowler put in another very strong bowling performance at Old Trafford. He is the player who Australia’s batters most fear in this series.

Top Picks – Australia

• Usman Khawaja – Only one player across both sides in the series has hit more runs than the Australian opener. He had previously struggled in England but has been very good on this tour.
• Pat Cummins – The skipper has taken 16 wickets across this series and although he has been expensive at times, he regularly finds a way to dismiss some of the world’s best players.

ENG vs AUS Probable Winners:

Australia may have already won the Ashes, but there is no way they will relent in this game. None of their players have ever won an Ashes series in England, and this may be their last chance. England, on the other hand, has been playing excellent cricket in the last two Tests and looks set to thrive in the forecast cloudy conditions. We predict an England victory to end the series. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
